Scott Martin replied to Ron Mellott's discussion Recyling Jurors
"This is one of the most well thought out posts I have read on this site. Congrats!
Wonderful idea about each show using jurors that have juried only their show. Idea of the year! What a win-win or all involved. Shows would look fresh, artists would…"

As for the show I have never done it but have many friends in various mediums that do well and go back year after year. I would love to read a report from someone though."

"Secondly after giving more thought to your import post if I was a promoter or a fellow competing artist at a show with you, and I heard you had toured a thousand factories and been to china forty times I would consider turning you in to "the…"

Colorado Art Shows?
Posted on November 16, 2010 at 8:59pm 20 Comments 0 Likes
Im looking to do 2 or 3 shows back to back weekends in the colorado area. No one day shows. The shows can be around memorial day weekend or before and after. Or later in July and early August. One last thing the shows need not be top tier like Cherry Creek. Just solid shows with a good reputation of sales and buyers. Any ideas would be great.
Any Info on Artscape Baltimore
Posted on April 27, 2010 at 4:44pm 3 Comments 0 Likes
I do functional pottery with a price range of $20-275 and was wondering if Artscape in Baltimore is a good buyers show. The write up says crowds are huge but is it just a fest or do people actually buy?
